THE REINEcKE MINES.
Another Railroad a Certainty.
rMadisonyille Times. 4

[Madisonvlle Times.
We have some very good news 10
give the Times readers this week.
Mr.. /. Bailey, who is Interested with
Mr. Reinecke in his mining prospects,
and who has Mr.. Reinecke's conf
dence, was here this week aud we
had an interview with him. Mr..
Bailey is a pleasant, courteous, WELL
posted man. lie said that neither he
nor Mr.. Rcinecke had anything to
conceal, aud they were willing for
the public to know what they were
doing. lie then gave us an account
of the progress made at the new
mines. lie said that Mr.. Reinecke
had already expended $4,000 in the
plant here they had shafted to the
depth of go feet. AT 2l5 feet they
struck No. 10 vein, 80 inches thick.
at 260 feet they struck No. ~ vein, 4
feet thick. Last Friday at a depth of
30 feet they struck No. III vein, 6tS
feet thick, and this he said was fine
coal. lie had telcgraphed Mr. Rein
ecke and was expecting him here to
consult about sinking the shaft far
Their, in search of No. 8 coal, which
would probably be found so or 60
feet below.
We then asked him concerning the
nail works and the mining ana rail
road project to Central City. lie
said that as regarded the nail works
here lie had no authority to speak.
That while the firm, the Western
Nail Works, Belleville, ILL.,, IN which
Mr.. Reinecke and he had controll-
ing interest, had been canvassing the
question of starting branch of il in
the South, anything pertaining there
TO at this juncture was mere specu-
lation, as nothing definite had been
determined upon. Concerning the
mines in Muhlenberg and the rail
road from Madisonville, either to
Central City, or some other point OH
the G. 4 o. II, II he said with conf
dence and an air of authority that
both tcere certainties, as the mining
privileges, options aud right of way
in Muhlenberg had been secured, and
the coal they proposed to mine was
the Lest in the State, and being
obliged to have an outlet for their
mines here and the mines in Mullen
berg, there was'no sort of doubt that
this railroad would be butt from
Madisonville TO the coal mines H.
Muhlcnberg and extended from there
TO the &, IL o. Mr.. Bailey was very
positive on this point, and seemed to
have 10 doubt Of the success of these
projects. If lie is right, Madisonvillr
yet has promising future before her
Our people should give every posi-
bic aid and encouragement to these
enterprises. They are the only ones
calculated TO benefit her, aud they
would be Of inesiimable benefit and
advantage to US.

First Lessons in Painting.

A celebrated miniature painter who
was unusually hard up sometimes cons
sented to take a pupil TO help initiate
the cash account, though much against
his inclinations. A wealthy gentleman
called at the studio one day and begged
the artist t. take his son, a young man
of 16, as a pupil, promising TO pay him
handsomely for the instruction. The
boy was admitted for the sake of the
money it would bring, but, much TO
the painters disgust, it was discovered
that he knew absolutely nothing Of the
first principles of drawing. The young
man sat around for half an hour the
first morning, watching the master at
work, much { 0 the %latter's annoyance,
and finally ventured TO ask that he BIZ
given something to do.
.All right! all right" the artist re.
piled, going to a closet and returning
with q pair of muddy boots and .
backing brush. Here. black thess
